Turkey is exporting ISIS-linked terrorists to Europe, according to King Abdullah of Jordan, reported The Independent daily newspaper of Great Britain.

The monarch’s remarks came in a meeting with members of the US Congress, in which he said that Islamist militants were being “manufactured in Turkey” and “unleashed” into Europe.

The meeting was held on 11 January, but details of the King’s opinions have only just been leaked.

He also noted that Turkey is complicit in buying ISIS oil.

“The fact that terrorists are going to Europe is part of Turkish policy,” King Abdullah said.

The Independent recalled that although Turkey and Jordan are officially allies, the refugee crisis has heightened tensions between the two nations.
